One of the most beautiful ski tours accessible in a day in the Hautes-Alpes!
This superb crossing starts at the top of the Serre Chevalier ski lifts and offers a distinctly alpine route featuring: an ascent on foot and a ridge walk, technical descents in the heart of the Ecrins and exceptional views!
Once you reach the summit of Pic du Rif, the highest point of the day, there are two options:
Continue the traverse to reach the wide Tabuc valley and return to Monetier, enjoying beautiful north-facing slopes.
Descend the sunny slope towards Ailefroide via the Combe du Riou and its sustained slope covered in transformed snow.
Whichever option you choose, this day is sure to remain etched in your memory as a skier who loves wide open spaces!

You regularly ski tour in the backcountry with day tours or multi day tours. The accumulation of efforts does not scare you and you can link together multiple climbs and descents in all snow conditions. You are comfortable on steeper slopes for the climb and the descent.
You are in very good physical shape and can easily climb and walk all day with a backpack between 8-15kg.
